Chapter 61 The Excellent Second Patriarch
This year marks the fifth year of Hongde.

When His Majesty the current emperor came to the throne, he was only in his early ten years. Now five years have passed, and His Majesty the Emperor is close to 16 years old. According to the regulations of the imperial court, he has reached the age to be in charge.

During these five years, because the son of heaven was young, the power of the prime minister expanded rapidly, especially the prime minister Yang Jingzong, who was the prime minister in the first emperor's dynasty, and later was ordered by the late emperor to assist the government and served as the chief minister for five years.

After five years as the first assistant, Yang Xianggong's power has naturally reached a terrifying level, but no matter how powerful the minister's power is, as long as there is no rebellion, it will eventually come to an end.

Although Yang Jingzong monopolizes the power in the imperial court, it is still difficult for him to control the imperial army, so there is no possibility of rebellion and usurpation. Now the emperor is growing up day by day, and the monarchy, which has been silent for five years, has begun to slowly challenge the prime minister. up the challenge.

After hearing the words of "pro-government", Master Lu was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly to Zhang Jian and said, "Yi An, you can just think about these words in your heart, don't say any more, the court The big things are done by the people above, you..."

"Since I am appointed as the official Jiangdu, I will be the magistrate of Jiangdu in a down-to-earth manner. You must keep your head down and do things, and don't look up at the sky."

"My nephew understands this truth."

Zhang Xianzun smiled at Lu Anshi: "I only occasionally heard the teacher mention the important things in the court, so I casually said to my uncle that I am just a small county magistrate now, and I am far from the top. One hundred and eight thousand miles away, I can't see clearly, and I am not qualified to participate in it."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jian looked at Lu Anshi, and said softly: "Uncle Lu, the last time the food price in Jiangdu skyrocketed, and the incident went to the capital. Although Yang Xianggong tried his best to cover up for his disciples, it was impossible to leave no trace at all. Up to now, there are still people who are still holding on to this matter and have been writing about it, some impeaching Chen Fuzun, and some directly impeaching Yang Xiangguo."

Zhang Xianzun's voice was calm: "In the past, this was simply impossible."

Yang Jingzong Yang Xiangye is domineering and has served in the government for more than five years. Few people in the court competed with him. Don't dare to go against Master Yang!
But now, as the emperor grew up, Yang Xiangguo's influence seemed to be slowly fading.

"Not your business."

Lu Anshi's face was serious: "At your age, do things in a down-to-earth manner. Don't join any team, let alone get caught up in any party struggle."

Hearing these words, Zhang Jian glanced at Shen Yi who was standing aside, then at Master Lu, and smiled without saying a word.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, let's not talk about this. Is your old man in good health these past few years? How is the sister of the Lu family? I haven't seen her for many years."

"After I stayed away from the court, my health naturally improved day by day. As for the little girl."

Master Lu twitched his eyebrows, and replied, "She's fine too."

"That's all."

Zhang Xianzun smiled at Lu Anshi and said: "My nephew has just arrived in Jiangdu. I'm afraid I'll be busy in the county government in the last few days. I'll find a restaurant in Jiangdu and invite my uncle Let's eat together."

Lu Anshi didn't agree, nor refused, but just said flatly: "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

Just like that, Zhang Jian and Lu Anshi talked to each other, half an hour had passed before they knew it, and Master Lu's frown became deeper and deeper.

Because he felt that it would be inappropriate for Zhang Jian not to go to the government office.

"Okay, Yi An, you have to stay in Jiangdu for at least three years, we will have more time in the future."

Lu Anshi's face was serious: "No matter what, Master Chen is not to be neglected. Even if Master Chen doesn't mind, if you enter the officialdom in the future, others will say that you don't understand the rules."

County magistrate Zhang was still not in a hurry, and replied with a smile.

"Uncle, I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"

"Shichiro."

Seeing that Zhang Jian still wanted to talk, Lu Anshi stood up straight away, and said to Shen Yi who had been silent all this time: "I'm a little tired, you can send me the magistrate Zhang."

Only then did Zhang Jian look at Shen Yi, who was "observing" the whole process, and said to Lu Anshi with a smile: "I forgot to ask just now, is this young master a new student of my uncle?"

Lu Anshi hesitated for a moment, and did not rush to deny it, but changed the topic: "This is a junior with great potential in the academy, and if there is no accident, he will take the county exam this autumn. If he passes the county exam this year, he will be a I have become a scholar, and when I see you in the future, I might even call you a teacher."

"Where is this word?"

Magistrate Zhang looked at Shen Yi with a warm smile on his face.

"Since he is the disciple next to the uncle, he is my junior brother, but..."

Zhang Xianzun smiled at Shen Yi and said: "Junior Brother Shen, although we have a good relationship, when it comes to the county examination, I, the county magistrate, will not show favoritism."

Hearing Zhang Jian's address, Shen Yi did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Lu Anshi, Master Lu also glanced at Shen Yi, and the two of them looked at each other, then old man Lu sighed: "Okay, the time is not up." It's early, you can send your Senior Brother Zhang out."

"Yes."

Shen Yi was overjoyed, and cupped his hands to County Magistrate Zhang and said, "Brother, please."

Zhang Jian saw the expressions of the two fathers in his eyes, then smiled and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and said: "Uncle Lu has not accepted students for a long time, it seems that the younger brother must have something special, it is a pity that the brother is now I'm already the county magistrate of Jiangdu, so it's inconvenient to have some intellectual communication with you, otherwise I can help you look at the theory."

Shen Yi didn't dare to say anything, and sent Zhang Jian out of the academy gate in a well-mannered way, and only after Zhang Jian's sedan chair had gone far, did Shen Yi return to Lu Anshi's study room, bowed his head respectfully to Master Lu, and said, "Thank you, sir, for your support. "

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly, and said, "Your teacher, Mr. Qin, is also of the same generation as Zhao Changping from the household department. No matter where you look at it, it is always right for him to call you junior."

Shen Yi nodded, standing beside Lu Anshi, while looking at the old man Lu's corrections, he asked cautiously: "Sir, is this Mr. Zhang?"

Master Lu glanced at Shen Yi approvingly: "It's very good that you can still call him the county magistrate instead of senior brother. If you recognize your own status, you can avoid a lot of losses."

"As for Zhang Jian..."

"He is from Jiankang."

Lu Anshi sat on his chair, and said calmly: "His teacher, Zhao Changping, is a good friend of the same year as my fellow countrymen. Brother Changping was very successful, and he joined the household department early because he was No. 2 in the first class. , was invited by the Zhang family, and became a teacher for Zhang Jian."

Speaking of this, Lu Anshi paused: "Brother Changping at that time was already a member of the household department."

Mr. Lu took a look at Shen Yi, and continued: "People who have a real job in the imperial court generally have little time for learning, and very little time for teaching disciples."

Having said that, Lu Anshi's meaning is already obvious.

This County Magistrate Zhang is a second-generation ancestor.

And it's not an ordinary second-generation ancestor.

That's all for the second generation ancestor, he is still a very good second generation ancestor, the second generation ancestor who won Jinshi early.

No wonder...

Shen Qilang felt a little envious.

No wonder people dare to be so arrogant in Jiangdu...
